| Robert Gaskin, Brockville ON | N 44° 35.4 W 75° 40.6' | ||||
| Depth 62ft | Time 27m | Temp 22°C | Starting pressure 3000psi | Ending pressure 1300psi | Buddy Sylvain, Jason |
Notes: | Jason came to Kingston to dive, so he, Sylvain and I attempted a plonge à trois with the Dolphin Scuba Club. While the dive was good, there was some discomfort with the three of us trying to manage together. On the plus side, the dive itself was excellent, and the $9.00 lights I picked up at Wal-Mart for Sylvain and I worked very well. | ||||

| Wolfe Islander II, Lake Ontario, Canada | N 44° 13.5', W 76° 24.9' | ||||
| Depth 75ft | Time 30m | Temp 15°C | Starting pressure 3200psi | Ending pressure 1200psi | Buddy Sylvain |
Notes: | When the buoy was reported missing from the wreck at the KPH, our charter went instead to the Wolfe Islander. Although Sylvain and I have been before, it was a good dive. A chilly thermocline between 50 and 60 feet was incentive enough for me to get a beanie hat afterwards. Sylvain amused us all when he tossed the bowling ball over to Sylvia - not anticipating the weight, she tipped right over! | ||||

| S.S. Keystorm, Lake Ontario, USA | N 44° 25.8', W 75° 49.3' | ||||
| Depth 71ft | Time 34m | Temp 17°C | Starting pressure 3100psi | Ending pressure 1250psi | Buddy Sylvain |
Notes: | This was my first dive of the season and my first ever with the Dolphin Scuba Club, the club at CFB Kingston. Sylvain gave me all the info and they have great membership deals and cheap rentals. On the advice of the club VP, I rented a hood and bought gloves since the club didn't have any. The gloves were a necessity, but I did without the hood. The wreck was pretty cool to check out; Sylvain and I went into one of the great holds and swam out another. Hopefully, this will be the first of many dives this summer. Other club members seemed friendly, and Sylvain and I ought to get out with them more. I ought to get a light, and the right amount of lead for my belt. | ||||
